Why are there no news feeds from the news papers in Swaziland so that only western ideas on Swaziland are shown?
The Swazi Times has a news feed.
The Swazi Observer has a news feed.
There is a news feed on http://www.swazilive.com .
Yet the only news shown on Swaziland are reports by bigoted reporters who have never even visited Swaziland

Having just read this report and comment by "the swazi guy ", I wish to add my positive comments about Swaziland.
I am an ex ex-patriot, who chose to settle in Swaziland, and was priveledged and honoured to be awarded Swazi Citizenship.

I have to agree with the previous persons comments, it is so sad to read most western media, whose only reports about Swaziland seem to be about health and politics.

Swaziland is so much more !

I also read the local papers and the news on http://swazilive.com .
I try read swazilive every day as it deals with the true Swaziland --- and not the western articles --- apparently written for people who want to escape from their own countries short comings by thinking we in Swaziland are poor by comparison.

PLEASE - open your mind and your vision and show news reports on Swaziland that originate in Swaziland!

We are a proud Nation, most of our citizens are happy and contented - especially when compared with citizens of countries to our north and south. We have NO racial problems and no-one is judged by the colour of their skin - only by their work performance.

It would be dishonest to say that there are no problems in Swaziland, lets remember that even the Garden of Eden had a serpent !

However, the majority of citizens of this country respect their King, and appreciate the changes he has instituted and the constant encouraging developments. Please consider the miraculous changes for the better in Swaziland since 1968 !

Please look at the new FREE education system presently under implementation, where all previously uneducated children MUST be admitted to Grade One and Two. No matter if they are 8 or 18 years of age, provision will be made for their education.

POSITIVE comments from the overseas media and visits to our happy Nation would be very welcome.

May God continue to Bless Swaziland, its King and its People.
